Peak Organic Amber AleAmber Ale - 4.9% ABVPete If you didn't tell me this was an amber, I'd guess that it was a brown ale. Looking at Peak's description, they say that they're looking for a 'distinct toasty finish'. That certainly was true, and sounds more brown than amber. I generally don't like ambers, so I think I psyched myself out a bit on this one, but I still thought it was pretty good.

Peak Organic High NoteBelgian Witbier - 5% ABVPete This is a pretty great wit. You definitely taste the coriander, plus a hint of the lemongrass is a nice change of pace. I've had lemongrass beers before, but never a good one until this.

Peak Organic Hop NoirBlack IPA - 8.2% ABVPete This beer is about as good as it gets. The bitterness from the hops in the IPA is there, but is shielded by the distinct flavor from the dark malts. Peak's description says "Enjoy with a night-light" and I can't think of better advice. You will sleep well after drinking this. It gave me renewed faith in mankind.

Ratings: Pete - 7 Shyoh's

Peak Organic IPAIPA - 7.1% ABVPete This is a fairly standard IPA. You get the bitterness of the hops, and it is very strong. I would drink it again.

Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's

Peak Organic Nut Brown AleBrown Ale - 4.8 % ABVJosh I like this beer. Pete Josh had some great analysis here. Great beer. Smelled and tasted delicious. It is also very smooth. The only other thing I could ask for is a higher alcohol content.

Peak Organic Pale AlePale Ale - 5.05% ABVPete This beer is a great combination of the bitterness of an IPA going down, coupled with the sweetness of a brown ale in the aftertaste. Great beer.

Peak Organic The JuicePale Ale - 5.8% ABVPete Outstanding pale ale. Extreme citrus flavor (not fruity) from the hops, but not too bitter. This could be a gateway into IPA's for people who think they don't like them.
